    Yes, but this is really the first step of a manned mars mission. Once we had been to the moon, it didn’t really have much value doing it more, it’s just a dead rock.

      2022 wants it’s comment back, SpaceX failed on this project and burned $30B tax dollars while doing it. Oh well, who needs healthcare anyway, I feel fine.

        Yeah I wouldn’t say this has been rolled out well. I just saying why we stopped going to the moon, and why is might have value now as part of a long term mars project. The original space race propelled science and engineering forward incredibly - it probably indirectly helped your healthcare a lot. I don’t know if this effort will be quite as useful. But we should be able to fund space exploration as well as healthcare - it’s just a political choice.
